Dane explains Newcastle rejection

Speaking to the Danish news service, Sporten.dk, our former midfielder Peter Lovenkrands has admitted he'll be biding his time in the search for a new club and revealed that Newcastle's decision not to offer a contract was hardly a shock to him. The Dane said:

'I have plenty of time to find a club since the transfer window just opened. But there is no concrete offer on the table.

It's correct I received a letter from the club saying my contract with Newcastle has now expired. But it's no big surprise for me that Newcastle didn't renew it when they don't even have a manager in place.'
